1. Be sure the monitor and system unit are turned on.
(The power indicator lights on the monitor and
system unit are lit when they are on.)
2. Adjust the monitor controls until you get the effect
you want.
Adjustment tips:
Set the brightness level so that the background (the
black visible area just outside the data/text area) just

fuzzy. The edges of the characters should remain
sharp.
